I don't mind the touch screen, but the Storm is no good to me without wifi.

I don't know what they were thinking about. To keen to get to market to chase Apple?

No doubt there'll be a finished version along early next year with wifi...

I would like to preempt RIM's marketing department by declaring that it should be called.......

The Perfect Storm.

Okay, it's Friday lunchtime, I've just finished my fish n' chips and I'd nothing better to do.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Storm's lack of WiFi... One more plus for the Bold, I guess!

smart move.

thus far, i'm on the fence. the sluggish UI is driving me crazy! and this is before i load any apps. one of the main reasons why i ditched any Windows based phones. i'm gonna continue to play with it and see how it holds up.

If you have a dataplan like all BB requires, why would you need WiFi?

thanks. build quality is top notch! feels solid and the metal battery back is a nice touch.

its funny ppl ask that, but why wouldn't you want a faster internet speed other than what the 3g network can offer? seems pretty obvious to me. plus with TMO, i can make calls through my home WiFi via UMA.

typing on this thing is going to be the biggest adjustment, obviously. i've learned to touch, then once the correct key is lit up....then i follow through with the click/press.
